When an area’s a designated transport hub it normally rings alarm bells. But in Paddington – whose romantic 19th century station is worth a look, even if it’s just to glimpse the Paddington Bear Statue – there’s more than just trains. Grab a drink in one of the water-side bars in the revamped Paddington Canal Basin, or if you fancy a stroll head to handsome Hyde Park – home to leafy lake-side paths.

Home to many of London’s iconic historic landmarks – including the highly-decorated Houses of Parliament, the royal-wedding hotspot of Westminster Abbey, and the Queen’s London home of Buckingham Palace – bustling Victoria and Westminster are arguably London – and England’s – heartland. Once you’re done sight-seeing, wander through leafy Green Park, get tickets to a musical in one of the glitzy theaters around Victoria Station, or grab a pint in a truly British boozer.

Encompassing much of London’s commercial appeal, it’s almost impossible to pin down this vast central area – from the exclusive mansion blocks, celebrity-filled hotels, and designer boutiques of Mayfair to the elegant buildings, soulful community vibe, and traditional pubs of Marylebone. At the heart of it all is Oxford Street – London’s bustling hectic commercial center home to high street fashion and a perfect place for some retail therapy.

King’s Cross – St. Pancras has vastly transformed in the last decade or so, from edgy, bordering on seedy, unloved district to cool area with buzzy nightlife, affordable hotels, and cultural institutions, including the British Library, London Canal Museum, and Gagosian Art Gallery. Enjoy a pint in one of King’s Cross' traditional pubs or wander under the glass arch of shop-filled St. Pancras station with its boutiques and cool cafés.

Soho’s appeal hasn’t always been upmarket. Nowadays trendy bistros frequented by media luvvies and theater-land-goers sit side by side with old family-run restaurants. Traditional pubs prop up street corners next to chic bars, and old-school shops neighbor designer boutiques. Surprisingly, Soho’s edginess hasn’t completely disappeared – flashy signs can still be glimpsed – but don’t be put off, this is one of London’s most authentically cool areas.

The City of London

Every day hundreds of thousands of urban workers commute to The City – home to London’s world-leading financial institutions. It’s actually one of London’s oldest districts - classic buildings…

Every day hundreds of thousands of urban workers commute to The City – home to London’s world-leading financial institutions. It’s actually one of London’s oldest districts - classic buildings line the streets, though these days gleaming modern architecture stands over them. The Tower of London sits river-side in this district - head here to buff up your history, before grabbing drinks alongside city slickers in one of the area’s flashy bars.

Bloomsbury

Wide streets lined by period buildings and small leafy squares make it easy to see why so many thinkers, novelists, and intellectuals have found themselves in Bloomsbury at some point. From the novelist Virginia Woolf to Charles Darwin, many of the buildings have blue plaques noting their association with an important person. If you fancy immersing yourself in culture, Bloomsbury abounds with choice - don’t miss the British Museum.

South Bank

Along one of the Thames’ most scenic stretches, South Bank’s a haven for the arts. Southbank Centre – ugly on the outside but gleaming on the inside with the Royal Festival Hall and the Hayward Gallery – the British Film Institute, and the National Theatre all call this area home. Waterloo Station’s main drag is hectic but away from the bustle, laid-back streets brim with cool cafés, independent stores, and cockney markets.

One of London's culture-crammed districts, Kensington makes a great day out. Kids will be blown away by the dinosaurs at the Natural History Museum, while lovers of vintage cool will relish the V&A. And let's not forget the Science Museum, a short stroll away. There's always something happening at the Earl's Court Exhibition Centre, and if all the activity makes you thirsty, try the Victorian pubs on Kensington Church Street.

"Hotel was great, our weekend visit was part of a joint 50th birthday celebration. I arranged flowers etc through hotel and on arrival, we were pleasantly surprised to see the hotel had upgraded our room, a very nice touch and staff were great."

"As usual had a good visit to the hotel, we especially enjoy the club lounge. However the visit was marred by our much anticipated visit to the "Bugis Street" restaurant. We lived for several years in the Far East including Singapore and love Asian food. On our last visit the food was ex..."

"A great hotel, but a few too many minutes walk to nearest subway. Just 3 blocks to bus station though...
The hotel rooms are small, but good enough. The only problem I had with the room is that it had a very noisy fan in the bathroom that you could not turn off. Very annoying.
Wifi worked well an..."

"A one night stay, convenient for our requirements in a Beautiful Historic and elegant building with charming and helpful staff. My only disappointment was that we paid for a deluxe double and the room was still very small."

"The Mayfair is a wonderful hotel in a spectacular location. Everything works - the WiFi, the AC, the in-room coffee service, the TV, the free-standing shower. The staff is incredibly helpful. It is our new home when in London."

"Excellent location, very convenient and clean. Only downside was comfort of beds. Sofa bed of kids was very uncomfortable and also the main bed mattress wasn't comfortable as expected for a good night sleep"
